The brief & plan

Improve branded keyword visibility from ‘homeless charities’ type keywords and increase organic traffic

Calibre9 tasked itself with improving organic traffic through to the SMHOW website. Our goal was simple – improve keyword visibility and increase organic traffic from ‘homeless charities’ type keywords.

Work commenced with an extensive in-depth technical audit, which was used as the foundation to map out subsequent strategies.

  • Technical audit and fixes
  • On-page optimisation
  • Link building

The delivery & outcome

Big jump in organic visibility resulted in new donations and increased awareness

Our audit uncovered a number of technical issues like multiple h1s, thin content, duplicate titles and more, all of which were successfully fixed. Once the tech fixes were done, we optimised the site and used interlinking strategies to funnel authority to our target pages. We then mapped out and implemented on-page and content changes across the entire site to ensure it was optimised for our target keywords.

This had a huge impact on a number of areas. The charity received a significantly increased number of donations, and awareness grew within the homeless community allowing SMHOW to help even more vulnerable people.
